Overview
SLP Abroad Student Volunteer Programs combine travel, service, and real-world learning for future speech-language pathologists. These short-term experiences are designed to help students gain ASHA-approved observation hours, build clinical awareness, and explore the world — all while giving back to communities abroad.
Our programs blend hands-on learning, cultural immersion, and mentorship from licensed SLPs in small, supportive groups.
It’s the perfect way to grow personally, prepare professionally, and make a meaningful impact — in just one unforgettable trip.
